APRIL 24,1919 - ARKANSAS GAZETTELittle RockELBERFELD YOUNGSTERS COMPLETE LONG RIDEMake 400-Mile Trip on Horseback in Six Days, Which Is Very Good Riding

Four hundred miles in six days on horseback is traveling at a pretty fair rate, for that divides down to almost 70 miles a day. These are the figures taken from the diary of Jack and Nan Elberfeld, the oldest of the children of Mr. and Mrs. Norman Elberfeld. Jack and Nan rode their horses from Hattiesburg, Miss., to Little Rock in six days, which was only one day longer than was required for Father and Mother Elberfeld and the other little Elberfelds, with "Red" Herring as pilot, to make the same trip by automobile. The equitating Elberfelds found the roads much better than when the motor party made the trip.The mounts ridden here by Nan and Jack, now are grazing in the outfield at Kavanaugh field. One of them isfor sale, but the other, a Kentucky thoroughbred, is a gift to Miss Elberfeld from a colonel who was stationed at Camp Shelby. Nan prefers the saddle to a place in the Elberfeld automobile.
